TTC, First Chemical Pregnancy

Hello everyone,

(new member)

I think I just need to share my experience as I haven’t had anyone to really talk to about this yet.

My husband and I have been TTC and on our 2nd month of trying I started feeling pregnancy symptoms. I took a couple early tests and got faint pink lines. Then I took several first response tests and they all said pregnant. We were both so excited I booked a flight to Florida to tell my parents the good news in person. My parents were super excited and began sharing the news. A day after I got to Florida I started bleeding heavy and had cramping like a period. I’m pretty sure I had a chemical pregnancy (which I had never heard of).

I fly back home in two days and don’t want to tell my husband this news over the phone. He is so excited and keeps telling me that he can’t wait to hug my bump. I have so many things going though my head, I guess this is my attempt at coping. I want to stay strong and positive for my husband. But I feel like I need someone to be vulnerable with and not just suppress the pain so that I can be strong when I see my husband.

So sorry! I had an early miscarriage the week of thanksgiving. I was going to tell family at Christmas, but didn’t turn out that way. I never told my family I was pregnant (my husband and I wanted to wait until we were several weeks in before doing so) so it’s something we are dealing with alone since they didn’t know. I prefer it that was to be honest but everyone is different. Praying for a healthy pregnancy the next time around for you!

Good luck this month ladies!! I’m hesitant to test for ovulation because I don’t want to make myself crazy ha! Praying for healthy babies this year!!! My period just ended so we started right away just to make sure we catch it 😉 Gotta try to make it fun, right?? 😘

I just went through this and wanted to surprise family for Christmas. I'm so sorry. It's one of the saddest times ever. You're so happy for such a short time and bam it's gone as fast as it came. You don't have to be strong for him. You guys can be sad together. It will only form a stronger bond. Hugs girl

We are in the middle of trying now. Lol the dr. Said if you feel emotionally ok you can begin the same month. So I knew we wanted to try immediately. Take your time and do what's best for you. Hugs mama

Thank you Theresa! I’m very sorry for your loss as well. It gives me hope knowing that this isn’t uncommon and that we can begin trying again as soon as we want to. I wish you the best! Happy holidays! 💕

I’m sorry to hear about that. I sincerely appreciate your support! I’m sure I’ll probably break down once I see my husband.

I hadn't heard of it either. It is very common. But it doesn't make it any easier. Take your time that you need to mourn your baby. And don't allow anyone to tell you it's not a big deal. It is. I had to deal with insensitive jerks.
